    Its a 92 152K on the clock, granite silver metallic eibach springs, M5 sway bars, bushings from the 7 series, uuc short shifter, 7 series brake ducts, M5 side skirts, Speedline wheels, DINAN chip. It is in MINT condition. I don't know that pics can acurately portray how this car looks. Its brand new. Dove gray interior. It was expensive but imo well worth it.


    I aparently dont have access to post pics? how do i fix that

    Very Cool. I'm kind of on the fence about the fully painted front bumper/ducts... but that is a very cool car. Congrats.

    that i wont do. the guy i bought it from is the racing instructor for bmwcca @ road america and swears by them. the paint would be trashed if they weren't on from him tracking the car (yes this was a track car)

    expensive = 7500. i gave him another 400 to replace the rear tires since they're toast i have the full maitenence history since day 1. the oil pump went out the day i was suposed to see the car, it was replaced at a tune of 900 bux by the previous owner.

    I love the look even the bumper/ducts. I'd add shadow line trim if it was mine, the real stuff not some cheap tape.

    Lets see some interior shots.

    $7500 doesn't sound to much if all the maintenance is current. Given the former owner it sounds like it should be in perfect shape.

    $7500 is not too bad... considering the condition it is in and the maintenance and upgrades done.

    figure you can get a 535iM for about $4-5k.... then full maintenance and upgrades would be about $2-3K..

    Plus, knowing that it has been cared for by a BMWCCA instructor. Did he provide all of the maintenance records?

    thats how i looked at it, it would take forever to find one as clean and then a ton of money to get it set up the way it is. The wheels alone are quite expensive from what i've gathered. i saw all the maitenance records in a huge folder, hes going to sort out this 535's from his wifes 535 from his newly aquired euro spec M5 (which is why he sold this car) and get everything to me on saturday. im droping the car back off with him on sat to get the tires put on.

    plus we're going to hit road america in the euro spec M5

    i'm going to drop off my other car and pick up the bimmer from my house and i'll post some interior shots then. my friends and i were crazy excited about this car and went nuts on pictures (we took about 100 total of the body). i met up w/ some friends after i got it and had it parked next to a new sti, C5 Z06, Acura TL, custom F150 lightening (theres about 80 grand in it) and it held its own pretty well.

    damn... thats a track car?
    one day i'll get a car as clean as that. i'll keep my current 5er just to learn how to do stuff on, and get another clean one that will be babied. and i dont think $7500 is expensive at all.

    I'm carless right now
    Damn...that's a sweet lookin' ride. What's the difference between a 535i and a 535iM though?

    7k for that car doesn't seem high priced to me at all!

    I second the vote for interior shots.

    M stands for manual. It sometimes creates confusion, with people thinking it's some M-sport version, like an M535i (which on an E34 would be sweet).

    Nice car. From its exterior, it looks to've been really really well taken care of.
